  • Interhalogen Compounds
    INTERHALOGEN COMPOUNDS Smt. EDNA RICHARD Asst. Professor Department of Chemistry INTERHALOGEN COMPOUND An interhalogen compound is a molecule which contains two or more different halogen atoms (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, or astatine) and no atoms of elements from any other group. Most interhalogen compounds known are binary (composed of only two distinct elements) The common interhalogen compounds include Chlorine monofluoride, bromine trifluoride, iodine pentafluoride, iodine heptafluoride, etc Interhalogen compounds into four types, depending on the number of atoms in the particle. They are as follows: XY XY3 XY5 XY7 X is the bigger (or) less electronegative halogen. Y represents the smaller (or) more electronegative halogen. Properties of Interhalogen Compounds •We can find Interhalogen compounds in vapour, solid or fluid state. • A lot of these compounds are unstable solids or fluids at 298K. A few other compounds are gases as well. As an example, chlorine monofluoride is a gas. On the other hand, bromine trifluoride and iodine trifluoride are solid and liquid respectively. •These compounds are covalent in nature. •These interhalogen compounds are diamagnetic in nature. This is because they have bond pairs and lone pairs. •Interhalogen compounds are very reactive. One exception to this is fluorine. This is because the A-X bond in interhalogens is much weaker than the X-X bond in halogens, except for the F-F bond. •We can use the VSEPR theory to explain the unique structure of these interhalogens. In chlorine trifluoride, the central atom is that of chlorine. It has seven electrons in its outermost valence shell. Three of these electrons form three bond pairs with three fluorine molecules leaving four electrons.

This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Statement of Contributions I would like to acknowledge the work of Grace Shimokura, who worked on this project with me. She performed the substrate scope of the triphenylphosphine dichloride synthesis project and synthesized compounds 33-55, 58-59 from chapter 2. iii Abstract Halogenation of organic molecules is a fundamental transformation in organic chemistry. Introducing halogens into substrates can be a challenge, since most methods for introducing fluorine or chlorine into molecules include the use of toxic reagents, harsh reaction conditions or expensive reagents. In recent years, hypervalent iodine compounds have garnered much interest due to their reactivity, their ease of synthesis and their mild reaction conditions, and they have been successfully employed in numerous halogenation reactions. My master’s thesis has been focused on two projects, deoxygenative chlorination using iodobenzene dichloride (PhICl2) and denitrogenative hydrofluorination using iodotoluene difluoride (TolIF2). Denitrogenative hydrofluorination of hydrazones using iodotoluene difluoride, where the iodane acts as both an oxidant and a fluorine source in this reaction.
